It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Concur with:

Fire
Holy Ghost
Chameleon
Bustin' Out

As for the others, I believe there may not only be funkier songs of all time to replace them with but more classic funk from those very same artists.

For Parliament, I would go with something like Flashlight
For Commodores, I would go with something like Slippery When It's Wet
For Slave, I would go with something like Slide
For Bootsy, I would go with something like Stretchin' Out
For Sly, I would go with something like Thankyoufallentinmebemiceelf

Keep Da Fonk Alive!!!

Peace Out,
Scott

Ok, I'll do one too:


Funkadelic - Standing on the verge of getting it on

Prince - Housequake, Get it up, 7779311 (you know those are his)

Parliament - Give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker)

Sly Stone - I wanna take you higher (and soooo many more...but this groove just crashes everything else)

James Brown - Cold Sweat, Give it up or turnit a loose

Betty Davis - Git in there

The Isley Brothers - Fight the power, Live it up

Stevie Wonder - Superstition, Maybe your baby



Actually, I'm listening to the 12# of She's Always In My Hair right now, and I'm tempted to nominate that one, too. He's playing some seriously nasty bass on that one!

Thanks! You know, compared to any of my friends (most anyway) I'm so far ahead on music, but in here... that's the great thing about this site, I can learn something new everyday. Just got to resist the temptation to throw my money completely outta the window!

BTW, as far as I know, that's all Prince on 7779311. The cymbal is programmed anyway, isn't it?
